chmod and CuteFTP
To access the chmod command from CuteFTP:
* Left click on a file or directory on your server to highlight it.
* Right click on the file or directory and from the menu that appears choose "Change File Attributes"
* From the menu, select the "chmod(UNIX)" option.
* On the "Change File Attributes" dialogue box you will be able to set the check boxes or enter in the chmod number
* Note: Older versions of CuteFTP may not allow you to enter a number and the location of the chmod command may be slightly different, but it will still appear somewhere on the right-click menu.
and just as a bonus, here's a page that'll convert your chmod codes to and from read/ write/ execute privs:

Hope that helps :)
